Thank you Emily for the link! :-) Caitlings: That's awesome! I have always wanted to go to Comic con. Maybe one of these days I will make it there :-)

Didn't like it as much as Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns for most of the book, but quite liked it towards the end. Rating it on goodreads gave me a hard time because of that.
Just read Hunger Games this weekend, reading Catching Fire now. Next up should be Iron Daughter.
I just read Hunger Games, too, and LOVED IT. I'm reading Catching Fire now. And, next up is Iron King or Splendor. Cassi, I think we have the same tastes in books!

I just don't think John Green is really my style, but I'll keep chugging on. I want to like him! I really do..
Traci please skip that book and just read WILL GRAYSON!!! I guarantee you will change your mind. I was not a huge fan of him after Looking for Alaska, but Will Grayson made me change my mind. Trust me!
hahahah okay Heidi, next time I go to the library I will pick it up. But I got 4 books from there today, which should take me until the end of the week (at least) and then next Tuesday Mockingjay comes out (which means that the world stops and I do absolutely nothing until I finish it). But I promise I will read Will Grayson sometime soon.

Heidi I wrote: "I finished
yesterday. Two questions for those who read it. 1. Did you feel Maggie should have put in some info from Shiver to remind readers or who was who and other imp..."To put in my two cents:
1. I too read Shiver awhile back and would have liked a little recap. Some things did come back to me though.
2. I didn't see Sam as a whipped puppy. I also viewed it as him trying to figure out who he was as a human, which was hard considering what Grace was going through.
Traci-I'm sorry to hear John Green hasn't really been your cup of tea. He's my favorite author and I highly recommend Will Grayson as well!
Heidi I wrote: "I finished

Alyssa wrote: "I just read Hunger Games, too, and LOVED IT. I'm reading Catching Fire now. And, next up is Iron King or Splendor. Cassi, I think we have the same tastes in books!"Yay! I loved Hunger Games so much that I went straight to the bookstore & bought Catching Fire. Then I read all of it yesterday afternoon/evening.
Now I'm onto Iron Daughter. (Boy in the Striped Pajamas is my current audio book...almost done. Need to go to library today)
Peep, Cole, the new character in Linger is interesting enough to make me put up with Sam's "finding himself" as Shannen and Lani say.
Yeah Cole has enough going on that maybe he makes Sam look a little more, sorry but pansey, than he actually is. And yes it wasn't so bad because he did seem to be trying to figure it all(read: Grace, being human, the pack, etc) out and that could def make a guy seem any number of ways.
Heidi I and Jaimie - Sam definitely had his weak moments in Linger. His past sucks, he lost his father figure and then you add antagonizing Cole into the mix.
Lazuline - Yay! I think the series got better with each book. Hope you like it!
Lazuline - Yay! I think the series got better with each book. Hope you like it!
Shannen- I hope you like The Sky as much as I did! It brought all kinds of emotional out of me. LoL!! I was crying one minute and smiling the next. I felt like a crazy person.Heidi- Do you think reading
would be as good as the audio?
Heidi I wrote: "I am reading
..."I'm reading Bindy too. Boy, she is annoying but funny!
Shannen, I put Linger very low on my tbr pile. I can't get myself to be excited about it. I get the feeling it'll read like the Twilight movie meadow scene.
Kourtni I think reading the book (Blue Tattoo) would be fine. After this one in the series I will have to start reading them as well because my local libraries do not have the audiobooks and I don't want to drive the closest library in my alliance that has them on audio (an hour away).
Yeah, I hear ya. I actually already put
on my Kindle app because it was on sale on Amazon. The first one was just so good on audio! At least we have a voice to imagine while we read, right?

Just finished Jealousy It was good, she was still a little annoying but I liked it anyways. Tonight I am going to start
I just finished reading The Replacement and it was different and interesting and held my attention which I have been having a hard time getting books to do lately. :)Now I am reading the ARC of Beautiful Darkness, I am hoping it will be good, then after it The Nightmarys and I am hoping it will be kind of creepy..LOL
I'm reading The Reformed Vampire Support Group. Has anyone else read it? So far, it's ok, but I was hoping for so much more......

I felt the same way Kourtni! I hope you like it Shannen!
I just finished It's Not Summer Without You and was pleasantly surprised. I'm now reading Gimme a Call. It's a light read, and certainly not a page turner. I don't know if I'll get through it, I'm a little annoyed by how pushy the older character seems.
Kourtni and Lani - I'm liking it so far. The writing style is very different but in a good way.
Crystal - How did you like City of Bones? Yay that you're reading Darkfever!
Stormi - So jealous that you got an ARC of Beautiful Darkness!
Heidi - How do you like The Summoning so far?

A whole 3 stars? That's pretty good! ;)

Becca wrote: "Currently reading

Lazuline I liked The Sky Is Everywhere, and so far it seems everyone else I have seen on here liked it too.
I don't know if I should continue Other by Karen Kincy. *embarrassed* I came to a part where the main character is having sex...
